Xiao Chen came out of his room and went to the control room. Xiao Suo and the others were currently controlling the Black Cutlass pirate ship as it sailed through the vast sea.
The Black Cutlass was the abbreviation of the Black Cutlass, the name Xiao Suo gave the pirate ship.
Xiao Suo was no stranger to the starry sea's environment after his experience at sea. The Black Cutlass pirate ship traveled very smoothly through the complicated starry sea.
"Captain, you're out?"
Xiao Suo looked at Xiao Chen in surprise. Xiao Chen had not shown himself for the past two months, communicating through voice projections. Today, Xiao Chen officially came out of closed-door cultivation.
A water screen in front of the control room showed the scene of the sea region ahead.
Through the adjustments of the formation, the water screen could display a 360-degree view without any blind spots, which was very convenient.
Being in the control room gave one the feeling of being in control of the entire situation.
Xiao Chen nodded slightly. He was not very satisfied with the pirate ship's speed.
They had just entered the depths of the Grave Sea, yet another month had passed. Who knew how long they would have to wait to reach Senior Ye Zifeng's sect?
The vastness of the Grave Sea somewhat surpassed Xiao Chen's expectations.
Xiao Suo could tell what Xiao Chen was thinking. He explained, "The Black Cutlass is already very fast for traveling through the starry sea. Even a late-stage Major Primal Core Venerate is not as fast as the Black Cutlass."
Xiao Chen knew this. The gravity in the starry sea was ten times that of the outside world. Flying on the surface of the sea would not only exhaust a lot of energy, but it would also be very slow. Furthermore, there was the danger of falling into the sea at any moment.
The strong corrosive nature of the starry sea was no joke. No one would be willing to soak in it.
"I only hope that the Black Lotus Church does not discover us before we meet Senior Ye Zifeng again."
Xiao Chen knew that this matter could not be rushed. As for the Black Lotus Church, he could only pray.
"Rumble …!"
Suddenly, the sound of huge waves came from the sea in front. The waves were startling, and the aura of a strong oceanic ferocious beast arrived.
The water screen in the control room showed a sharp, black object on the surface of the sea.
Xiao Suo's expression changed slightly. He said sullenly, "We probably ran into an oceanic ferocious beast. Based on this dorsal fin, it is at least one kilometer long."
"I'll go take a look."
Xiao Chen did not panic. He quietly activated his Heavenly Insight Divine Eye and turned into a beam of light, flying out of the ship. He hovered in the sky and looked ahead.
The Heavenly Insight God Eye pierced through the seawater and looked down.
He realized that the dorsal fin that was exposed on the surface of the sea was only the tip of the iceberg. His line of sight continued to sink along the dorsal fin of this marine beast. After 500 meters, Xiao Chen found a sawtooth shark that was thousands of meters long.
This was definitely the largest oceanic ferocious beast that Xiao Chen had ever seen. It was several times larger than the Jiao Snake, giving off an even stronger pressure.
Xiao Chen withdrew his Heavenly Eye and said sullenly, "Circle around. This ferocious beast is several kilometers long. Its dorsal fin is just the tip of the iceberg. It is not easy to deal with."
"Could it be a Black Star Sawtooth Shark?" The experienced Xiao Suo immediately thought of a certain oceanic ferocious beast.
"The Black Star Sawtooth Shark is a rather strong oceanic ferocious beast. It is born with the strength of a Primal Core Venerate."
"After it reaches adulthood, it can stand shoulder to shoulder with a Major Primal Core Venerate. At the strongest, it can rival the horrifying strength of a Cloud Sea cultivator."
Luo Nan and Fei `er, who were in the control room, quickly provided information about this Black Star Sawtooth Shark. During the past two months, the two had learned a lot about the sea.
"It's over. There is no time to circle around."
Xiao Suo's face sank. The Black Star Sawtooth Shark in the image suddenly leaped out of the sea, revealing its huge body. Its abdomen was covered in black star patterns, the mark of the Black Star Sawtooth Shark.
The Black Star Sawtooth Shark soared into the air and leaped out of the sea. Then, under the pull of the starry sea's gravity, it charged towards the pirate ship.
Under the influence of gravity, its huge body shot forward like an arrow, moving at a horrifying speed.
"Don't panic. Xiao Suo, stabilize the ship. I'll use the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation to deal with it."
At the crucial moment, Xiao Chen stabilized the situation and calmly issued orders.
Xiao Chen gently pushed off with his feet and leaped out of the control room. With a few flashes, he arrived at the top of the pirate ship.
The first thing to arrive was the towering waves that the Black Star Sawtooth Shark kicked up.
The strong waves could kill a regular Yang Essence Stage cultivator. They were very mighty and had a strong corrosive nature.
Even though the pirate ship had a protective barrier, it could not avoid being shaken and damaged.
Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and grasped the Lunar Shadow Saber. Then, he sent out a resplendent saber light.
The saber light chopped the towering waves in half, not landing on the pirate ship at all.
Sheathing his saber, Xiao Chen took out the Scarlet Blood War Banner. Then, he gently waved the war banner, and the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation in the ship instantly activated. A dense layer of bloody clouds erupted with a startling bloodthirsty aura, spreading out in the sky.
"Whoosh!"
A huge Yazi Beast image quickly encased the exquisite pirate ship. In this huge image, the pirate ship was like the Yazi Beast's heart, located within its body.
As the Spirit Jades in the formation drained, white bones continuously appeared in the Yazi Beast's Demon Soul image. Then, they connected and formed a huge skeleton.
This made the image appear much more substantial.
"Boom!"
The Yazi Beast Demon Soul opened its mouth and welcomed the incoming Black Star Sawtooth Shark. "Ka ca! Ka ca!" The Black Star Sawtooth Shark's huge and sharp teeth shattered.
Intense shock waves spread out. After passing through several obstacles, the pirate ship at the heart of the Yazi Beast Demon Soul only shook slightly.
There was no need to control the Yazi Beast Demon Soul.
When it fought, it would activate its bloodthirsty and savage nature. Even after turning into a soul, the Yazi Beast Demon Soul could not eliminate its bloodthirsty nature.
The Yazi Beast Demon Soul had the head of a dragon and the body of a leopard. As it stood on the surface of the sea, its huge body was incredibly nimble.
The Yazi Beast Demon Soul instantly fought an intense battle with the Black Star Sawtooth Shark. Spirit Jades continuously drained from the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation, turning into bloodthirsty lights leaping about in the formation.
Xiao Chen thought to himself, What a strong Black Star Sawtooth Shark! Furthermore, it is still a juvenile and has yet to grow up.
To think that it can fight the Yazi Beast Demon Soul to a draw. After all, this Demon Soul was not affected by gravity. Furthermore, it did not feel pain. It was bloodthirsty and possessed an unyielding character, completely inheriting the nature of the Yazi Beast.
Fortunately, this fight did not last long. Four hours later, the Black Star Sawtooth Shark clearly lost. It gradually gave out and became completely powerless, unable to move.
The bloodthirsty Yazi Beast Demon Soul started to consume the blood of the Black Star Sawtooth Shark.
Soon, the Black Star Sawtooth Shark turned into an empty shell with no blood flowing through it, slowly sinking into the sea. The starry sea slowly absorbed the Black Star Sawtooth Shark's body. Soon, only a skeleton remained.
This scene happened too quickly, making one's scalp go numb. Now, they had a deep understanding of the strong corrosive nature of the starry sea.
Xiao Chen waved the war banner, and the formation scattered. The Yazi Beast Demon Soul turned into countless clumps of light, continuously shrinking. Finally, it turned into drops of blood that fell into the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation.
"Whoosh!"
It looked like a rain of blood fell in the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation. A sinister blood mist rose up from the surface of the formation.
The Yazi Beast carved on the formation plate at the core of the formation seemed to show an expression of enjoyment.
Xiao Chen entered deep thought. I should be able to light up a pearl if I consume a few more of such huge oceanic ferocious beasts.
At that time, the strength of the Yazi Beast Demon Soul will improve further.
Before Xiao Chen could heave a sigh of relief, a low, sorrowful cry suddenly rang out in the surroundings of the vast sea. This sound wave shook the surrounding fifty kilometers, causing the seawater to undulate intensely.
The waves rolled over the waves, fluctuating violently and irregularly.
The pirate ship started shaking intensely, rising and falling with the waves, completely uncontrollable.
Xiao Chen stood at the top of the ship, doing his best to stabilize himself.
Then, he looked around and saw a Black Star Sawtooth Shark several times larger than the pirate ship in the distance. It floated out of the water and whimpered softly.
The young Black Star Sawtooth Shark that Xiao Chen killed earlier might be its offspring. Otherwise, it would not make such a sorrowful cry.
As the sorrowful cry spread out, similar cries echoed in the distance. Many black dorsal fins appeared on the surface of the sea.
This startled Xiao Chen. This is bad!
This Black Star Sawtooth Shark thinks of me as a strong enemy and is calling for companions.
"Retreat!"
Xiao Chen landed in the control room and got Xiao Suo to control the pirate ship to retreat quickly.
Xiao Chen could deal with one young Black Star Sawtooth Shark. However, there was no chance of victory against a group of adult Black Star Sawtooth Sharks.
The people in the control room also took action urgently. The image on the water screen showed at least one hundred Black Star Sawtooth Sharks gathered together.
"Captain, the waves are too big. We are too slow." Xiao Suo skillfully controlled the pirate ship. However, the waves grew increasingly larger, and the Black Star Sawtooth Sharks were completely pinned down.
On the other hand, after the Black Star Sawtooth Sharks gathered together, they moved forward in the water as one.
"Go down and hide!" Xiao Chen made a prompt decision and decisively gave the order.
No one doubted Xiao Chen's orders. Fei`er activated the Dark Night Bewildering Formation on the pirate ship. The ship turned pitch-black, looking like a black rock sinking into the water.
After activating the Dark Night Bewildering Formation, the pirate ship silently merged with the dark light, concealing all signs of life at the same time.
The pirate ship's Three-Star defensive formation also activated at the same time, resisting the corrosion of the starry sea.
The ship fell silent. No one dared to speak. In such a life-and-death situation, everyone felt incredibly nervous.
Several minutes passed. The pirate ship did not show any major movements. Everything was incredibly quiet.
It seemed like the school of Black Star Sawtooth Sharks had not discovered the pirate ship.
However, no one said anything. After some time in the dark sea, Xiao Suo felt that something was wrong. He said softly, "Why do I feel that the pirate ship is still moving quickly? The undercurrents should not be that fast."
Xiao Chen frowned slightly. He did not know much about the undercurrents at the bottom of the sea. When he heard Xiao Suo's words, he silently sent out his Spiritual Sense.
His Spiritual Sense was affected at the bottom of the sea. He could not see many places.
However, when Xiao Chen saw some of the surrounding scenes, he was so shocked that he did not dare to go down. There were adult Black Star Sawtooth Sharks everywhere.
This school of Black Star Sawtooth Sharks had trapped the pirate ship. However, these Black Star Sawtooth Sharks were still moving forward, searching for the pirate ship.
However, these Black Star Sawtooth Sharks did not know that the pirate ship was already in the middle of them. As they swam, the undercurrents they created pushed the pirate ship forward.
When Xiao Chen told everyone about this situation, everyone in the control room was startled silly.
This was like a sheep moving with a pack of wolves. They could be discovered at any moment.
The pirate ship could conceal its signs of life, merging with the darkness. However, it would not truly vanish. If one touched it or accidentally bit it, it would be a disaster.
Xiao Chen turned his head and said, "Xiao Suo, control the ship based on the feeling of the undercurrents. Do not let them touch it. Otherwise, we will all die."
When Xiao Suo heard that, he felt immense pressure. His hands trembled. However, he saw Xiao Chen's trusting gaze.
Xiao Suo clenched his teeth and charged forward at this crucial moment.
